After the president became depressed, he was taught by the mirror ghost to fall in love!

Jun Li almost believed Xiao Ling's pretense. After fooling the villagers, they followed the instructions and walked forward. They didn't see anything strange. They were all working and coaxing their children. Everything was no different from an ordinary village.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the village chief's house. The only difference between the village chief's house and other villagers' houses is that the yard is bigger than theirs. The village party secretary's house is not far from the village chief's house, about two streets away.

Bai Ze suddenly couldn't help but frowning and then pinching his nose lightly and backing away. Jun Li noticed something was wrong and leaned over to ask in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"The strange smell is so strong that it's almost suffocating me. It smells terrible... This strange smell is especially like the smell of a highly decomposed corpse that has been dug out for a long time."

Bai Ze couldn't stand it anymore so he buried his face in Jun Li's arms and took a few deep breaths of the smell of shower gel and lavender laundry detergent. He exhaled heavily and didn't want to stick his head out at all, as if he would suffocate if he stuck his head out.

"what?"

Jun Li looked up at the village chief's house, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Could it be that the strange creature was killed here, so..."

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A bearded man passing by frowned and looked at them warily, saying, "The village chief is not at home. If you have any questions, tell me. I am the village party secretary here."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling hurried forward and pretended to take out a fake ID and handed it to the village party secretary, whispering, "We were sent by the higher-ups to inspect. We didn't notify them of this inspection, but we wanted to avoid formalism and take some photos of the villagers' most authentic work to report to the higher-ups."

"After all, we are promoting rural revitalization, right? We have to show the results to our superiors. But if we give them advance notice and come to visit, we are afraid it is all staged. So our superiors specifically said that this is a surprise visit. Look, this is our certificate."

The village party secretary carefully looked at the certificate and compared the photo with Xiao Ling. After checking the official seal, he immediately changed his expression. His eyes were squinting and smiling, and his tone was extremely enthusiastic.

"Oh, no wonder you all look so different. The village chief has gone out to take care of things this morning. If you can't wait, come sit with me. I'll ask the organizer to take you around the village later..."

"Goodbye!"

Xiao Ling quickly interrupted and patted the village secretary on the shoulder and whispered, "We can't expose our visit this time, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if the photos we take are not real. We have to tell the villagers that we are here to collect folk songs and just to have fun for a few days."

"We can just walk around the village by ourselves. Don't bring anyone with you and don't let anything slip, otherwise it will be hard to explain to the higher-ups."

"Oh, thank you for your memory..."

The village party secretary quickly smiled and nodded: "I'll talk to him when we get back from the village. Why don't you guys go to my place first? It's getting late. Why don't you eat at my place today?"

Xiao Ling looked back at a few people and saw that they had no objection, so he agreed. This made the village party secretary very happy. He thought that he could serve these people sent by the higher-ups well and then go back and say a few good words to them, asking them to get promoted quickly and leave the village.

He couldn't stay in this village any longer. If he had known this village was so absurd...

"My last name is Li Dongli. If you have any questions, please feel free to come to me. It's been hard work for you all. If there's anything I can help with, please feel free to ask!"

Li Dongli had a very good attitude throughout the whole process and was smiling without any impatience. After all, he wanted to get familiar with these leaders who were sent to inspect so that when they returned they would remember his kindness and promote him. Then he would be successful sooner or later and this village would have nothing to do with him anymore. He could just wait for the new village party secretary to take over the mess!

"You're too kind."

Jun Li suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "What is the village chief busy with?"

Li Dongli was stunned for a moment, then he pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty and quickly joked, "What! What can you be busy about? As you can see, our village is not very large. Usually we just deal with a chicken that's lost or a duck that's run away, or a quarrel between a woman and a man. What can happen?"

"so."

Jun Li certainly knew that Li Dongli was not telling the truth. This village must be hiding a secret, but Li Dongli didn't dare to say it. Jun Li even roughly knew why Li Dongli didn't dare to say it.

First of all, someone must have died in this village, otherwise how could there be such a strong resentment? What does it mean that the village chief's family has such a strong resentment? It means that murder and arson are very common in this village. If a village chief is like this, how can the villagers be any better?

The people in this village no longer take human life seriously, and murder and arson have become commonplace. The village party secretary must know this, and the reason he has not dared to speak out or report it for so many years is most likely because he has been brainwashed and threatened by the villagers.

For example, "This village is deserted. You don't want to encounter any accidents in our village, do you?"

"Just do your job well and don't say anything you shouldn't. We will cooperate with you in your work. When you are replaced in five years, you will be promoted. Otherwise, you don't want to make a fuss and end up ruining everything, right?"

"This village is deserted and not many people come here usually. If anything happens to you, we just need to come up with a common story and no one will be able to find out."

Jun Li realized that this might also be the reason why the previous village party secretaries never reported it and did not dare to expose the village secrets even after being promoted.

Think about it, you didn't dare to say a word when you were the village party secretary, and now even though you have been promoted, you still dare not say a word. After all, once the secret of Qin Village is exposed, it will obviously cause trouble for yourself. The secret of Qin Village is your extremely shameful history, and exposing it will only cause trouble for yourself. Who would do such a self-smearing behavior?

It is even possible that in order to make the village party secretary shut up completely and become one of their own to keep the secret, the villagers may force him to kill someone or deal with the body together. This way it would be safer, and there would be no fear that the village party secretary would reveal the village secret after he gets promoted and leaves the village.

After all, you have participated in murder. You have worked hard to get the official position, so you don't want to waste several years of hard work and end up in jail, right?

Jun Li felt that this conjecture was extremely likely. To confirm this conjecture, he just needed to see if Bai Ze would find the smell bad when he arrived at the village party secretary's house. If the village party secretary's house smelled as bad as the village chief's house, it would mean that those village party secretaries had also participated in the murder!

This would explain why Jiang Jincheng's investigation was urgently halted halfway through fifteen years ago. It is very likely that the person who stopped it was the village party secretary who was promoted to a higher position in Qin Village at that time!

He was worried that Jiang Jincheng would really find out the secret of Qin Village and then implicate himself, so he urgently stopped the operation and made up an excuse of reporting a false case to get away with it. This obvious attempt to cover up the secret was just to prevent the secret of Qin Village from being made public!

I have to say that Qincun is indeed terrifying. Even after doing so many evil things, he still managed to make those promoted high-ranking officials voluntarily use their power to protect Qincun and cover up his crimes.

After all, their careers are tied to Qincun. Once Qincun is exposed, those people will not only lose their official positions. If they really participated in the murder, what awaits them is imprisonment!
